First Problem:In order to make first edit (Delete) I really need to wait for 100% previews to generate (of course the counter has long gone in Bridge) this has taken at least an hour!

Second problem:When previews have been generated and cache exported I start to delete "bad" shots - first "delete" takes about 3 seconds for the image to actually delete, but afterwards the next "delete" takes 13 seconds - while the whole folder re-generates previews and exports the cache (again)!

At this rate, basic editing will take more time than the day shooting the portraits!

Hi David,As I thought!In my other work I normally delete the rejects in order that all the following processes will happen faster (smaller number of images to generate previews)Please Adobe re-write Bridge, bring back web galleries and the preview counter. Real photographers don't work with phone images, some of us use big files!P

For today I have completed deleting rejects... I have now moved on to labelling "selected" images... out of a folder now containing 688...In a folder of this size cmd+6 to select red label also has a lag / delay... all totally frustrating when all you want to do is get the job finished!Thanks for all your comments though!Peter
